I'm hoping someone can give me advice on a problem I have been having w/ my TiVo unit.

I'll be watching a show I recorded and it will go to a gray screen in the middle. Apparently for some reason, mid-show, the unit loses the satellite information as I caught it happening in live time tonight.

I couldn't watch live TV because it was "receiving satellite information." Once it got done with that, I was able to watch live TV, but the screen menu doesn't have updated show information, which means it won't record many of my programs tonight because it won't have the data to know they are on.

It the unit somehow resetting itself each day? More importantly, how do I fix this?! Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks.

Have not had any of the issues you mentioned as signs of signal or hard drive problems (at least to my observation).

The power fluctuation issue is intriguing as we have had some light fluctuations in the house, usually when my wife uses her hair dryer. I haven't noticed lights flickering or anything when this happens though.
